It looks like Avengers Infinity War smashed all global box office records with the biggest opening weekend of any movie with $641 million!
Wow!
While we didn’t see Avengers Infinity War opening weekend, we did the next best thing — we played the about-to-be-released board game, Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War!
That’s right, we were lucky enough to get our hot little hands on a copy of Thanos Rising from USAopoly before it’s release to stores and we’re going to tell you all about it!

This beautiful time of year also means Spring Cleaning…
Not only are the lawn tools getting dusted off and the garage cleaned, but other areas of the house are getting their turn at fresh organizing as well — including the game closet!
And whenever it’s time for game organizing, we turn to Insert Here for game inserts. They make foam core game box inserts for over 200 popular board, card, and dice games!
Today we’d like to share our thoughts on 3 custom game inserts from Insert Here.

Without further ado, here’s my recap of this super fun event.

The first time I saw a version of Liar’s Dice was in the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Will challenges Davy Jones to a game aboard the Flying Dutchman to find the location of the key to the Dead Man’s Chest.
With it being such a common game, you’d think I would have encountered it long before seeing that movie. But I hadn’t.
Since then though, I’ve come across a number of iterations of Liar’s Dice.
The latest iteration of the game was published last year by Arcane Wonders called Spoils of War.

Machi Koro is a family card and dice game where players compete to build their cities to become the largest in the region. Players do this by rolling dice, collecting money, buying Establishments, and building Landmarks in their city. The first player to complete all of their Landmarks wins the game.
The exact same thing can be said for Machi Koro: Bright Lights, Big City.
So why do we like this new game so much more?
We’re happy to tell you why.

As I look out our front window at the snowy peaks along the Wasatch Range, I’m sure glad there aren’t any Yetis around here. Because if there were, it would make our winter snowshoeing in the mountains a bit more treacherous.
My opinion is quite different when it comes to Yetis in the new, fun dice game Dicey Peaks by Calliope Games. Bring on the Yetis!
